is what their saint did for them. The

completely mountained out from the

BeaeGictire monks, by a treaty
alleged to have been granted
by obsolete Poles and allegorical

WHO IS SCARED?

It is said that the Government mani
tests an undue alarm, as though
conscious of having provoked public in
dignatlon.
But what are the facts? The Govern
ment has been disarming rather than
arming. It sent away on board the
Kaimiloa its most effectual weapons OF
war and twenty per cent of the custom
ary guard of the Palace, and the CHIEF
officers, in whom the remaining force
have the most confidence, are absent
from the Capital on various public duties
abroad. There surely is no sign Of scare
in such procedure.
But somebody is scared, and probably
unnecessarily so unless the pangs of con-
science prick too sorely. This scare on
the part of somebody has enabled a GER
tain chronic class of alarmists to keep up
an under-current of anxious feeling in
the community. One at least would
think so, when peaceful traders enter
into a new line of trade and import
arms of war in large quantities into a
peaceable country, in which the de-
mand for this class of weapons has
always been met with by an ample
supply through firms specially engaged
in this business.
1t may be added, that although arms
are not contraband, yet Government
exercising a due regard for the peace OF
the community may properly investi
gate the nature Of such importations
and although it may not be authorized
by law to confiscate any ordinary import
alton of arms, yet it certainly has the
right under the law to detain snch for
purposes of examination with view to
public safety.
